Have always bought hatchbacks as more practical than a sedan; so the model Y would be my choice.

Recently test drove the Model 3.Thomas does an excellent job summarizing the car feel and imperfections. As an older driver, I might also add an extra concern - the fonts on the screen are small and difficult to read. I've seen Tesla forums totally devoted to this problem. Nevertheless, I wish Thomas had reviewed the voice command system more thoroughly. It seemed to work well on the car I drove. I think voice is the best way to operate to minimize driver distraction.

If the battery is warm (preconditioning before leaving in the morning helps a LOT) and you precondition to the charger you can charge quite a bit faster. Same spec but with the 60kW battery I’ve done 11-60% in 14 minutes, the charge curve is similar from 20% so should be under 20 if going 20-80%.

great video thomas, as always. i think where tesla are succeeding is the charging network, ease of use etc, insane acceleration and the self driving tech. beyond that, and i look at the glass roof and i agree it just doesnt work in hot climates. if they had the option of solid or glass roofs i think tesla would vastly increase their sales. quality also seems to be hit and miss, and although the teslas of late seemed to have improved in quality, i would not consider them to be luxurious, even though they are priced like a luxury car.

Thanks for the review. I am aligned overall. I tested a Model 3 LR last week, but the day before i was also testing a Merc. GLC and E220D. I must say that comfort and silent of the Mercs were way more superior to the American one for similar price range. That was a real deal breaker for me although i liked a lot the Tesla and the power (and the crazy constant Torque!). I agree with the kind of "artificial" steering wheel feeling, and I was also not fan of the central screen. For now i would prefer to get a used Mercedes rather than a brand new Model3, and wait until Tesla improves those areas, or that another historical manufacturer release a descent and affordable EV.

If you drive at the same speed and use the same level of acceleration their is no advantage in terms of efficiency (range) being in chill mode. Also, if you have a situation where you really do want/need to use maximum acceleration you can do it instantly.

The Germans are rightly proud of their automotive heritage. The EV era has arrived and their industry will adapt.

Tesla is clearly showing the way in moderately priced EV's.

Please, i need some “profissional” help (honest opinion) here. I am a taxi driver in Portugal, and i’ve reserved the Toyota BZ4X. But as you know, i need good backspace for passengers and i need a big trunk space. So now i am in doubt of buying the Toyota or the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (same price - but with leather seats and Bose sound), or wait until the upcoming new Niro EV (cheaper). My favourite was EV6 but only next year is available, and don’t have the same praticality of ioniq 5, and I don’t now if the range is so much better. Toyota don’t have a frunk neither a glove box. Can you help me telling me what’s the best car (brand) in terms of range, Technology (security) and realibility? Toyota warranty is 10 years or 1.000.000kms, and that for a taxi makes me think twice. I am afraid that the cluster visibility is not good because of sitting positition. With that said, does the Model 3 do the work? It is without doubts the best? Many thanks.

I agree with most of the critique I read on the model 3. However, I also see comments where the model 3 is compared to the Taycan or the EQS, which is childish. How are they comparable in any way, except that all are EVs. They are ~3 times more expensive.

Hey Autogefühl! I like your reviews, but it has to be stated, the Model 3 is one of the best selling BEV worldwide, but NOT the best selling BEV in Europe or Germany. Best selling BEV last year in Europe: Renault Zoe. Also there is one simple fact, why the Model 3 still remains its top selling position as a BEV, there is simply no competition in the midsized BEV sedan market exept for the Polestar 2. I'm really exited for the BMW i4 cutting into the Model 3 LR and Perf. customer base and get some competition going on. Also the price starts at 44,000€ (DE) not 40,000€ in Europe before incentives.

@@autogefuehl Please, write articles from the European perspective. We really have enough of the US press pumping Tesla as the best-selling EV on their market, while skimming on others. When are we going to see a video explaining why Zoe was the best-selling EV in 2020? When are we going to see a video explaining while VAG is a total number-1 BEV manufacturer in Europe?

@nataliac.3970 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly, I've yet to see any legitimate (e.g. official new car registrations, etc) figures that would support such claim. In fact, it seems like the t3 doesn't even make it into the TOP 20 top selling models in the EU. And I seriously doubt it's any different in large markets like China, Japan, etc. So, where do these "facts" come from? Sounds like more propaganda from tesla affiliated channels, with no basis in reality. Just like "safest car ever", even though pretty much every week you hear about another victim that gets killed in one. Nevermind that it has been thoroughly disproven by every safety ratings agency.

SkywalkerWroc if you're talking about numbers manufactured, then perhaps VAG makes more, but Tesla SELLS more and that's all that matters. By far. Quit hating on a superior selling car, the Tesla.

Great review as always, especially the mentioning of animal free interiors! Also worth mentioning since you have a 55kWh Fremont SR+: This car is a rare thing! They've only built this battery version with the new Panasonic cells in Q1/2021. Before and after they came from China with LFP batterys. So the car you had was only sold for three month and then ended indefinitely 😉

The model 3 has one of the best interior of any car, IMHO. No gear levers getting in the way, charging for 2 phones and plenty of storage so you car doesn't have to look like a dustbin. Look at the other EV cars (ID 4, Polestar, etc.) for how bad the interior layout is, no storage, cup holders in wrong position, etc, etc... I'm loving mine and its 10 times cheaper to run than those dirty diesels and petrol cars that people keep buying...
